Lucifer Yellow CH dipotassium salt（Cat No.:R072042）is a fluorescent dye commonly used in biological research to trace cellular processes. It is a derivative of the natural bioluminescent compound luciferin, and its fluorescence can be excited by ultraviolet light, emitting bright yellow-green fluorescence. The dye is used to study cell-to-cell communication, particularly in tracing neuronal activity and synaptic connections. It is also employed in live-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy, and intracellular dye transfer experiments. Lucifer Yellow CH dipotassium salt is valued for its high solubility and ability to penetrate cell membranes without affecting cellular function significantly.
